The party of which you're now a member isn't the one you joined as a young man, and you know it. Had you an ounce of integrity or intelligence you would have left the Labour party by now-at what point might you have felt that membership was incompatible with your beliefs? Would it have been dropping Clause IV, Tony Blair dragging this country into Iraq, Ed Balls' current enthusiasm for Tory spending plans? You're really pretty weak minded, Terence, and tribal to the core: your constant adulation of authority figures like Castro, Benn, or Trotsky is indicative of a dependent and insecure personality.

He was embarrassed in to giving up one of his two wages and rather than give it up and let it go back to the taxpayer he decided on an act of clear political calculation to exploit the name of his late mother by creating a charity in her/his unusual name of salmond. He knew that anything that that charity might do would reflect positively on him. How many people called salmond do you know? I don't know any apart from him. <br /><br />If you want to know anything about percentages involved then go and find the information for yourself like everyone else has to. If you want to crticise Gordon Brown's expenses then do the same, they are a matter of public record.<br />Clearly you are in political terms an enthusiastic and hidebound right wing amateur but I would suggest to you that if someone like Gordon Brown had any expenses skeletons in his cupboard we would have heard about them before now. I look forward to your further attempts to tarnish the character of Gordon Brown. Are you a devotee of the senator for Wisconsin by any chance, Joe McCarthy who created one of the most famous "isms" of all time after his name, you are lovely people aren't you?.
